Thanks! being the face of the Rogue Chocolate Stout, and having visited Rogue Creamery where I made a batch of this cheese, its great to read about people’s introductions and experiences pairing these together! check my blog, www.roguechocolatestout.com to see my video at the creamery. They also make a Soba Ale Cheddar with Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale

Here’s one to pair it with: the Stone Brewing Company XII Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. Available in 22oz bottles at bottle shops in the Pittsburgh, PA area, as well as Leo’s in South Point,OH. I’ve got an extra or two I’d be willing to trade. Scotty at the Wine and Cheese shop knows how to find me.

It’s a really, really good beer.

I spotted Rogue Chocolate Stout out at Leo’s in South Point last week. I have a sneaking suspicion I have seen it at Kroger in Barboursville in the past, too; they usually carry a few Rogue 22oz bottles.

Let me add…

I really didn’t answer the question “Why is this a good pairing?”.

First, we have the carbonation of the beer lifting the fatty coating from your palate, allowing you to taste more of what the cheese can deliver. The roasty sweetness from the Oatmeal stout complements the very buttery, creamy flavors of the cheese, creating caramel and even nutty notes before a very tasty chocolate finish.
